Pre-Order Thread

I’m confused as to what an official announcement’s standard is... people said Kanye didn’t announce officially when he put the album title and release date on his website (of course, this was mostly apologists looking for an out when he missed the date) and now Coldplay sending an email to their fan club isn’t official either. I mean did Beyoncé’s self titled not come out because there wasn’t an official announcement?

Limited edition, remastered collection of Scott H. Biram's unique, demented twist on gospel music, featuring a previously unreleased song and two songs that have never been on vinyl.
Limited to 1000 "I See the Light" White vinyl LPs, 1000 CDs.

Bundle with the screen-printed poster. (If you want it rolled, not folded, go here.)
For our 25th anniversary, we summoned 10 songs from the Rev. Biram's God-fearing side of his psyche. The album includes a previously unreleased, and enrapturing, cover of the Louvin Brothers' "Broadminded," as well as the first vinyl pressing of "Get Me Religion (Preachin' the Blues)" and "God Don't Work (Like a Natural Man)," from Scott's self-released, pre-Bloodshot album Preachin' & Hollerin'.

Well. That's rough.
 
More Belgian jazz, out on Nov. 29th :


ECHT! – an instrumental, futuristic four-piece inspired by the concepts absorbed in electronic music and musical production.

Having crystallized their innovative style and sound on the Brussels scene, this group of visionary music makers are pleased to announce the release of their debut EP ‘DOUF’, released 29th November via groove-heavy record label Sdban Ultra.

Recorded in an empty space in Colfontaine, Hainaut in just three days, ECHT! draw on influences including Electro, Hip-Hop, Psychedelic Groove, Footwork, Trap, Funk and Futuristic Jazz. Artists that excite them include Jonwayne, DJ Rashad, Deantoni Parks, J Dilla, Dorian Concept and Aphex Twin.

Across 8 tracks consumed as one continuous 16-minute mix of swirling beats and edgy offbeat rhythms, ECHT! weave together a musical collage of sound - equal parts acoustic and electric.

Tracks like the sonic sound explosion of ‘Bonjour’, the scatter rhythms and busy hi-hats of ‘Tsht’ and the abstract beats and subby bass of ‘Mad Merckx’ are symptomatic of the ECHT! sound that is heavy in groove and deep in intrigue. ECHT! look to emulate the producer’s off-beats, the compressor’s swell, the repeating samples or the DJ’s transitions.

Echt means ‘vrai de vrai’ - ‘true’ or ‘real’ in brusseleir (Brabantian dialect of Brussels). It is a direct reference to the fact that their sound transmission is ‘real’, performed with conventional musical instruments as oppose to computer music which the production might suggest. It also relates to the fact that none of the members of the band are originally from Brussels – bassist Federico Pecoraro is from Italy, keyboardist Dorian Dumont is from France and drummer Martin Méreau and guitarist Florent Jeunieaux are both from Mons.

Elsewhere, debut single ‘R2D2’ is a raw, gritty musical adventure while the skittish future funk of ‘Chicago Stuk’ and subtle vibrations of ‘So Zat’ offer further explorations into the world of ECHT! “’DOUF is our tribute to Teklife DJs such as DJ Rashad, DJ Earl, Taso and DJ Spinn”, says keyboardist Dorian Dumont.
 
My first few years of collecting was just mindless purchasing of rare variants based on the invisible hype machine. I've been able to take a step back from that mindset these past 2 years and am much happier with my collection as a result. Not being a VMP member the past 6 months has helped.
I've also stopped blind buying things (except for Colemine releases because of obvious reasons 🔥🔥🔥).


This is where I am too. I have slowed way down on purchases, and am aiming my collection towards stuff that will mostly get regular spins. VMP churned up the FOMO in me and I am not blaming them, I chose to dive in, but quitting VMP has helped that go away.

I have a pretty big to-sell pile now and I think I am going to add to it. Stuff like Notorious and The Fugees are getting zero spins from me. Add in the fact that without a major change in my set-up, I am almost out of room. So now I'm aiming towards stuff like Colemine and New West labels, collections of bands I love, and some crate-digging stuff.
 
Highly recommended
